Physical Review Letters – 16 December 2002
Volume 89, Issue 25

The figures show the Poynting vectors (white arrows) and interference patterns (broad colored bands) for light composed of two different frequencies incident on the boundary between two right-handed media (left) and between right- and left-handed media (right). The second plot clearly shows the negative refraction of the light at the right-left interface. [J. Pacheco, T. M. Grzegorczyk, B.-I. Wu, Y. Zhang, and J. A. Kong, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 257401 (2002)]
